Duluth Pack and all other Canal Park businesses are open!
Due to the recent flooding, there has been a lot of speculation as to the condition of the city of Duluth, especially the Canal Park area. While numerous homes and roads in Duluth and the surrounding area have sustained damage, the Duluth Pack retail store and all other businesses in Canal Park are open for business. All hotels, restaurants, and stores are open and eagerly awaiting your arrival!
So, stop on by…..we’re open!!!!
My family and I visited the BWCA every summer when I was a kid to canoe, fish, and camp. We used Duluth Packs handed down from my grandfather who had been visiting the BWCA since he was a kid. After college my mom bought me a Duluth Pack credit card wallet, which I lost the first summer I moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where I still live. That was 6 years ago… last week a friend found my wallet in the mud outside of where I used to work. It had been there for 6 harsh Wyoming summers and winters and everything inside was still in great shape! I attached a picture of the wallet, and wanted to say thanks for making such great products. It was fun to go through the wallet and see everything was still intact, from my ID, credit cards, fishing license and even a dollar bill that was folded up inside.
Thanks again for making quality products that last generations,
Beth

Caring for your Duluth Pack is easier than you may think. It’s time to take your packs out of the closet, if you haven’t already, and get them ready for your next adventure!
Duluth Pack products only get better with age, so here are a few maintenance suggestions to help your product last a lifetime.
When not in use, store Duluth Pack products in a cool, dry and well ventilated area to avoid mold and mildew. If washing becomes necessary, spot wash with warm water and a mild soap, such as the Mirazyme Odor Eliminator. This can be done at the beginning of the season if you find your packs have a musty smell.
Oil and condition leather components on a regular basis or when leather looks dry. Without proper conditioning, the leather will become brittle and may break when you really don’t want it to! We suggest Lexol Leather care products such as Lexol Leather Conditioner (also available in Quick Wipes).
You can make your canvas pack even more water-resistant, by using Nikwax Cotton Proof as directed. Our waxed canvas products can be re-waxed as needed, or applied the Nikwax Wax-Cotton Proof. When using your packs this summer, remember the following:
1. Our canvas is over dyed and when wet, the canvas may bleed.
2. Remove contents and allow the product to dry completely.
3. Canvas is a natural, water resistant, and breathable fiber, which means it will dry quickly and completely so you won’t have to worry about your stuff being wet for an entire trip!
